I don't travel a lot but probably 2 months out of the year. I travelled for the first time since finding out I was pregnant last week and was 6.5 weeks. The advice I was given was to take snacks with you. So I packed trail mix, turkey jerky, fruit leather and some hard candy. I also have a problem with motion sickness when flying so instead of taking dramamine my doctor said to take 25mg of Benadryl. I also bought the sea bands to wear during my flight. The sea bands are also supposed to help with nausea during morning sickness. Other than that my doctor just instructed that if I started cramping or bleeding while out of town I would need to go to the ER. Luckily so far no problems there. Hope this helps a little and good luck!

I had a job that I had to travel every day about 3-4 hours or more in the car and sometimes fly. I bought support panty hose to avoid blood clots, drank lots of water and made sure i knew where the bathrooms were along the way. I was in 10 states when pregnant with him and it was ok--- I will say once I got off of mat leave-- I hated my job I didn't want to be so far from my LO and I never even thought about that when pregnant..

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!! Once I got bigger (I didn't pop until around 28 weeks, no one believed I was pregnant lol) I'd make sure to do a lot of walking in between long sitting (flights or car ride) and drank around 100-125 ounces per day. I never had any swelling- even after a 12 hour drive with 1 stop in the middle for gas!

I am 12 weeks 3 days and I travel every week. It's gotten more difficult but here are the lessons I've learned:Always always have snacks. I usually put gold fish crackers, nuts, apples, etc in both my purse and briefcase. If you are sitting in bulkhead, pull your snacks put before you sit down.You cannot drink enough water and you cannot pee often enough. Always use the restroom right before you board, before plane starts decent and after getting off the plane. It's crazy how fast it can sneak up and you never know how long the wait for the rental car shuttle is or if there will be a bathroom at rental car place. I've been in situations where I held it too long and got terrible terrible cramps.I travel a lot so I always give myself extra time to get pay down instead of scanner..you just never knowAlways carry a sweater. I get super cold on planesTry to always get an aisle seat. This makes bathroom breaks easier.I stop at the store on my way to the hotel and buy bottled water. Sometimes the tap water in some cities makes me gag.I carry my prenatal vitamins for the week in a Baggie in my purse so I don't forget to take them.I carry a pair of flats everywhere and just wear heels into meetingsMake sure you are walking between flights or after. It's uncomfortable to sit on a plane then a car and then meetings all day then just going to bed without some sort of exercise.

I was looking for my own travel for work post from a couple of months ago to thank the ladies who'd helped me out when I saw this! I travel almost weekly for work plus did a trans-Atlantic 1 week trip to Italy (where also we did a lot of walking, flying, traveling by train!). Previous posts cover most everything. Key is hydration and snacks. For the 7 hour flight I'd even carried a peanut butter jelly sandwich! Get an aisle seat so you can walk once every hour. Water is critical for me - I drink 3 liters a day! Public restrooms weren't fun to use in Italy so if it's a place like that you might want to carry your own toilet paper too. For work, make sure to carry fruit. My clients always ordered deli sandwiches for lunch so I'd compensate with fruits, nuts, big soup. It's not fun but gets easier after the first one. I'll be on a 20 hour journey to India (and back) in month 6 so going to go prepared with all this plus Benadryl. Good luck!

I travel weekly for my job (by airplane) and the only thing I do differently is opt out of the body scanners. It takes 5 - 10 minutes longer to get through TSA, but if they have the Pre-check it doesn't matter. Just stay hydrated and make sure you give yourself enough rest. The bigger I get, the more I started checking my bag. Good luck and safe travels!

Thank you all for your help! Just completed my first successful trip! I skipped the scanner, and got a pat down, I've been doing that for a while anyway, I don't think those machines are good for you pregnant or not!I packed fruit, yoghurt and nuts for the flight and drank huge amounts of water. I couldn't get an aisle so the guy next to me got a little wound up with my pee schedule on a 6 hour flight!! Oh well!Good luck to all of you! I think it's so important for us woman to have great careers and be great mothers, it's a balancing act, but it's one I strive to be successful at!

I travel at least once every two months, and unfortunately it's typically a 12hr flight from tel aviv to San Francisco. I actually just got my BFP on my last trip to the UK! Definitely not looking forward to my flights in December, but these tips are great and I would have never thought to push for aisle seat! Thanks all!!
